The Complete Engravings, Etchings and Drypoints of Albrecht Dürer

by Albrecht Dürer

Book Overview

Albrecht D rer's 96 engravings, six etchings, and three dynamic drypoints are counted among his finest and best-known works. By the very nature of the medium, each fine line of an engraving is controlled by the artist and is dependent upon the pressure of the burin in his hand. In the engravings, D rer was therefore able to achieve an unprecedented intricacy of detail, subtlety of line, and three-dimensionality.

Customer Reviews

Great book, great price

This book is cheap and full of amazing reproductions of Durers prints, what it lacks in text it more than makes up for in images

Grandes trabajos de Dürer

Una gran edición a costo más que razonable para mi. Contiene todos los grabados en metal.

An excellent overview of master works

Albrecht Durer was a Master artist in many forms and this book does justice to his work. It has excellent plates and detailed text, and is a worthy addition to any library, expecially one which concentrates on fine art books.If you are not familiar with the works of Durer, this is an excellent introduction. His attention to detail is unsurpassed in an artist of his time. If you are already an admirer, the text will give you some insights into his life and times that you had not before been aware of. It is a good quality book and well worth the purchase.

Great source book

This is a wonderful source book for all of Durer's graphic work and should be in every one's library interested in master prints.
